Proto Grippers vs Sliders?

I really wanted to know the difference. I have sliders, but is one of them for a certain type of riding??

grippers <3 grippers are good for everythin, including powerslides IMO i can slide my grippers easy

are grippers fast? Thinking of getting a pair.

Which dehub faster and how long do each one usually last?
I say this because im debating whether on getting sliders or grippers because grippers are amazing indeed but sliders are only a LITTLE harder, but i am forced to ride mainly street because i dont live near a skatepark and my friends and i do stairs on streets so grippers or sliders best for me? My streets have cracks and roots rising up from the ground, just wanna know if either would dehub faster or chip/chunk faster for me?

sliders last longer and usually are harder to dehub from my experience. my pair lasted 1 year and 3 months and i gave to others to ride and i had no chunks when i gave them out

i like grippers. Sliders are too hard and feel like cement is attached to the metal core.

 

[toddjamin]

anyone know the durometer of each wheel? the freestyle depot site handily misses it out

 

[Blue]

Rob, lets say i live on a street that has lots of cracks and i land sketchy and my phoenix wheels have small cracks in em..
Do you recommend grippers or sliders?

grippers have a harder tyre, therefore stronger, go with grippers.
